• Abstract: Conical intersections are topologically protected crossings between the potential energy surfaces of a molecular Hamiltonian, known to play an important role in chemical processes such as photoisomerization and non-radiative relaxation. They are characterized by a non-zero Berry phase, which is a topological invariant defined on a closed path in atomic coordinate space, taking the value $\pi$ when the path encircles the intersection manifold. In this work, we show that for real molecular Hamiltonians, the Berry phase can be obtained by tracing a local optimum of a variational ansatz along the chosen path and estimating the overlap between the initial and final state with a control-free Hadamard test. Moreover, by discretizing the path into $N$ points, we can use $N$ single Newton-Raphson steps to update our state non-variationally. Finally, since the Berry phase can only take two discrete values (0 or $\pi$), our procedure succeeds even for a cumulative error bounded by a constant; this allows us to bound the total sampling cost and to readily verify the success of the procedure. We demonstrate numerically the application of our algorithm on small toy models of the formaldimine molecule (\ce{H2C=NH}).

  We provide two novel quantum algorithms based on Hamiltonian versions of the path integral formulation and another for Lagrangians of the form $fracm2dotx2 - V(x)$. We show that our Lagrangian simulation algorithm requires a number of queries to an oracle that computes the discrete Lagrangian that scales for a system with $eta$ particles in $D+1$ dimensions, in the continuum limit, as $widetildeO(eta D t2/epsilon)$ if $V(x)$ is bounded

We show that our algorithm only needs to explore $tilde O( d2varepsilon-2)$ episodes to find an $varepsilon$-optimal policy.

  We study the number of gates needed for the distribution over measurement outcomes for typical circuit instances to be anti-concentrated. Our definition of anti-concentration is that the expected collision probability is only a constant factor larger than if the distribution were uniform. In both the case where the gates are nearest-neighbor on a 1D ring and the case where gates are long-range, we show $O(n log(n)) gates are also sufficient.

We show that the spatially homogeneous tilt $beta$ of the dipoles giving rise to the anisotropic dipole exchange leads to the non-trivial reentrant localization beyond the locator expansion.
